About

Clemson Bros. Brewery

"There is an old saying that when there are three generations in a family business they go from shirt sleeves to coat and vest and then back to shirt sleeves. In our case, we never got out of shirt sleeves. We kept right on working - my grandfather, my father, and myself."

-Richard Clemson, (September 12, 1947)

At Clemson Bros. Brewery we live and breathe to perfect our passion for craft and our beer exemplifies that passion in every sip. As a dedicated team of craft brewers, we ignite that passion daily by reaching back through time to preserve the culture of our foundation, and we take pride in going to great lengths to artfully blend our love of rich history with our love for craft beer.

Back In 1890, established by way of a mature genealogy in industrial mechanics and metal smithing, as well as exhaustive laboring efforts made at the hands of a highly inventive father and son duo, William Clemson and George Nathan Clemson of Clemson Bros Inc. befittingly took root on Cottage Street and Railroad Avenue in Middletown, New York, following an uprise of economic enterprise during the quaint town's early inception. Making way through a lineage of kindred Master Armorers, three generations of expertly skilled Metal Smiths, and soon becoming identified as the world's pioneer of hack saw blades, Clemson Bros. crafts a historical timeline that captures the rise of a small towns economic advancement, while continuing to stand firmly as a transcendent manifestation of hometown innovation.

Not satiated by solely maintaining the title of skilled Metal Smiths, the Clemson family's acute propensity for ingenuity sustained opportunity in a booming industrial climate spurred by perseverance and unified fidelity, in turn making them true revolutionaries of their trade. That same ingenuity inspires us to push beyond the limits in order to deliver a superior craft experience to even the most discerning devotee.

Uniting together a team of visionaries and diehard craft enthusiasts, it is our focus to preserve the spirit of our legacy and thanks to the hard work, dedication, and passion of those bold enough to take a risk, what started as an idea to carry out that legacy is now a reality. We've utilized timeless founding principles to bring our dreams to fruition and at Clemson Bros. Brewery we don't simply strive to craft; we aim to pioneer.

Following in the footsteps of our founding predecessors, we're focused on working to create generations of opportunity-producing craft trades, making Clemson Bros. Brewery a brewery for the true craft enthusiast.
